Veggie Dip or Sangira Punch Recipe

Veggie Dip! Use the Knorr Vegetable Soup Mix recipe for spinach dip. Absolutely to die for! You'll find the soup mix in the aisle with other soups. You'll also need: sour cream, mayo (not miracle whip), green onions, water chestnuts, a 10 oz box of frozen chopped spinach, and the soup mix. I think that is all..This whole recipe is on the Knorr soup package though. The mix used to come in a box, but the last time I bought it, it was in a pouch.

Tips - Make the dip a day ahead so all the dried bits have a chance to really rehydrate. Let the spinach thaw tipped up on the drain in the kitchen sink. Once the spinach is thawed, you'll need to unwrap it and take it out of the box, put it in a heavy duty paper towel and wring it out. I do this by hand to get all the excess water out of the spinach. It's probably the most inconvenient part of this recipe, but the dip is so tasty, it's totally worth it.

Have fun!

L.
I am a Tastefully Simple consultant and we have a Sangria Slush mix that is awesome. Nothing to do but mix it with any wine and freeze. It has been our top seller this summer. We also have a delicious Spinich & Herb dip, as well a many other easy to prepare gourmet products. No recipe involved just mix it with sour cream.
I do have to tell you that our Sangria Slush is expiring with our summer products on Sept 7th. Get it while you can!
Check out my website tastefullysimple.com/web/cbywater and call me if you have any questions.

Best of luck to you.

One of my friends gave me this failsafe recipe for Sangria.

6 bottles of red wine (merlot....doesn't necessarily need to be high $, but don't go cheap either)
1.5 liters of brandy
1 cup of vodka
2 ltr soda
2 ltr sprite
4 cups orange juice
1 cup of sugar
10 oranges cut and squeeze then leave in the sangria
10 limes cut and squeeze then leave in the sangria

(can also add a few lemons if you wish)

Hey L. if you'll go to www.foodnetwork.com and put those 2 items in the search engine they have some great recipes for you. Good Luck and have fun at your get together.

Knorrs Spinach dip is a good one. I've always had good luck with that one. Another one that has been a HUGE hit is a VERY easy one. Warning: it sounds disgusting but everyone LOVES it! 1 jar of green olives and 2 blocks of cream cheese. I put the green olives in the food processor and then add the cream cheese in there to blend it all together. That's it! SUPER easy and everyone loves it and wants the recipe.

Summer Sangria
1 liter white wine
1 lemon or lime, thinly sliced
3-4 tablespoons sugar or honey (I think sugar works better)
1 peach, fresh and ripe, sliced into thin wedges
1 seedless orange, thinly sliced
4-5 sprigs fresh mint

Mix the wine and lemon slices with sugar or honey, and stir until dissolved. Add the peach, orange slices and mint. Makes 1 1/2 quarts.
(You can throw in any fresh fruit that you happen to have. We've used berries, honeydew melon, cantaloupe, strawberries, even figs.)

Red Sangria
2 orangs
1 lemon
1 lime
1/2 cup sugar
fifth of burgundy (750 mL)
8-10 ounces club soda
Ice
Cut one of the oranges, the lemon and the lime into quarters. Squeeze the juices from the fruits into a pitcher and add the rinds and sugar. Stir with a wooden spoon. Add wine and soda and mix well. Pour into tall, ice-filled glasses. Garnish each glass with a slice from the second orange. Serves 6.

I love entertaining and trying new things. Can I come to your get-together? :-) Have fun!

OH I love Sangria!! I add a little peach brandy or peach schnapps to mine. Pour a whole bottle of red wine into a large pitcher. I use fresh citrus fruits like lemons, limes, oranges, and if you want to, use fresh peaches and apples. Just squeeze as much juice out as you can, then throw the remaining fruit in the pitcher. The peach brandy gives a little more "kick" where the schnapps are a little sweeter. Good luck and hope your party turns out GREAT!!!

L.,
